    I always love the cultural themes. It’s good to show soe cultural awarness every once and a while. I think my favorite thing is the statue, it's gorgeous!

    well, it's not like you have to build the new appliances right away. (although given some of S8's recent actions, it's probably a good idea to. never know when they might randomly remove it!)

    I actually like this! Especially the little chairs. Reminds me of the Arabian Nights update we had last summer, with the pillows for seats.

    The statue of Ganesha (the Elephant God) is a much loved and revered religious icon for Hindus. Not a decorative item. It's like offering a Christian crucifix or a statue of the blessed Mother Mary as a decorative update. If the intent is to have an Indian-centric theme, please include other decors to complement the Ganesha statue - like rangoli (colorful floor-art), tea-lights for Diwali, flowers & garlands. If the intent is a yoga space, then complement it with characters in yoga-pose, yoga mats, a softer/neutral color palette. Please.Consider.Some.Cultural.Sensitivity.

    I agree, I thought that was the point of not putting nativities for decor in Christmas, or any religious item [EQUOTE=house0fjoy;1112360]The statue of Ganesha (the Elephant God) is a much loved and revered religious icon for Hindus.

    I had an idea it was a statue of a god but didn't even think twice about it being used as decor . Sorry about that, I know better. I think this is the second time in a month TL has messed up a cultural update, and risked offending players.
